Subject: posix_spawnp creates ghost processes
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 09:30:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <008201d61a0a$328a5510$979eff30$@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all
We're having a rather complex application and have noticed a rather weird
behaviour that I cannot find any information about
We're using posix_spawnp and sometimes it creates extra "ghost-process(es)"
non visible to cygwin (via e.g. process status (ps)) but visible to Windows
(Task Manager)
The function doesn't fail and it doesn't report any error, but sometimes
(hard to reproduce deterministically) it creates one, or more, extra
processes of the same binary
Have anyone noticed and/or have some information/ideas about this ?
Kristian
